Suburban Permaculture Design and Organic Living Course

Greetings friends,
I wanted to write to let you know about this summer's Urban and Suburban Permaculture Design Certification course with Common Circle Education in downtown Eugene, Oregon - July 10th - 25th: 
  --> http://www.commoncircle.com/permie

With the news of peak oil, environmental destruction and economic
challenges in the air, permaculture offers tremendous solutions that are simple to implement through re-localization and looking 
back to how humans have lived sustainably for centuries.

Starting by learning the lessons from the garden with some of the
world's most renowned organic farming experts, we will then look
at how to apply what we learned from the soil and the water to building sustainable, lasting institutions. 
During the workshop, we will talk about:

   * Principles of Permaculture and Sustainable Design
   * Smart Design through Careful Site Analysis
   * Recognizing Patterns of Natural and Human Systems
   * Reading the Land & Understanding Natural Cycles
   * Soil regeneration and Land Restoration
   * Food Forests, Trees & Garden Design
   * Water Harvesting, Conservation, and Graywater System Design
   * Renewable Energy and Appropriate Technology
   * Natural Building Design
   * Waste Recycling and Treatment
   * Aquaculture and Animals
   * Agroforestry and Forest Gardening
   * Useful Plants and Planting Strategies
   * Patterns of Settlement
   * Cooperative Economics, Money & Financial Systems
   * Designing Sustainable Cities through Sustainable Economies

"My experience in the course was invaluable. ÂI find myself with a
new permaculture lens that I can put on at will, and see the world
around me in a way that I feel leads to making more conscious
decisions and living better in harmony with Mother Gaia."
- Deborah F.,

This workshop is an incredible opportunity to have fun and learn
practical skills you can apply in the real world in your own home
and backyard, or in your wider community.

Youâll learn how to create sustainable, thriving human systems,
from green houses and organic gardens, to local micro-economies
and communities, using sustainable design principles that are
applicable to every human system, from businesses, communities,
and cities to personal relationships.

This is a dramatically expanded version of a normal 72-hour course,
with a significant focus on social permaculture and urban-sub-urban
solutions. Â The price includes all meals, lodging & transportation
to all the powerful site visits. Common Circle Education is the leading ecological design and holistic living school with courses in Oregon, Hawaii and California; our teachers are some of the most well-known leaders of the sustainability, organic food and permaculture movements. 
You only need to put down a $95 deposit to hold your spot in the
course with the remainder being billed in several equal monthly
payments! Â 
Please visit www.commoncircle.com for more information about
this course as well as our Sustainability in Motion Bicycle Tours
which will also be happening in Eugene next summer!

With much gratitude and love,


Vladislav
